Sorry for the long wait. Busy morning.

I have to say it's interesting and fun how much debate the last thread got. There was like 5 different -- now quality -- prospects people were absolutely convinced where #5, which is a good problem to have.

 

[Darkauron]

Still have Speers in the poll.

 

[Nubmer6]

Voting for Speers again!

 

[RememberTheName]

Speers is a poll option, put Gignac in his place

That's what I meant to do.

Hopefully a mod will fix it, but in the meantime, don't vote for Speers.

I'm curious what everybody's personal top 10 is. Seems like there is a lack of consensus right now. I'd probably go:

Hischier
McLeod
Santini
Quenneville
Blackwood
Speers
Rykov
Wood
Boqvist
Anderson

Mueller, Popugayev, Zetterlund, Walsh, and Bastian in the next group for me, but not sure how I'd sort it.

Flip Blackwood and Speers and flip Anderson and Wood and you got mine.

i feel like this is hard, i mean wood is technically an NHLer, so does that make him rank higher for NHL readiness?

i was the solo vote for mueller btw. i know he gets no love, but he is NHL ready (ish)

 

[DerekDevils30]

Blackwood, add Bratt

It's all up to you on how you are determining their rank.

Personally I'm combining main categories like current status, potential, skill grades and more. While also not giving points or taking points away for draft position.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Anderson again, kid is being slept on so hard.

 

[Zippy316]

Flip Blackwood and Speers and flip Anderson and Wood and you got mine.

I'm not a big fan of Wood, but I just can't put Anderson or Boqvist ahead of him at this point.

They're way too off and too much of question marks right now.
